Prohibition Saves The no, 8.

The best argument found in Maine for

mildly opposed TO it. had conyersa-

of drunkenness. and consequently disorder
and poverty.

III shut up all the rum shops, and prac-
ticaily banished liquor from the village.

That is all there is in it. If the boys
of the country are not exposed TO the in

Queen Esther's Folly.

Queen Esther was prohibitionist. lIa-
man was a high license advocate and the
first man in the world to advocate the pol
icy. lie made King Ashasuerus believe
it would conduce to the public good to kill
few Jews, and for a license to do the kill
ling he offered 1000, 900. But Queen
Esther did not believe in the policy of de-
irving a revenue from the murder of the
King subjects and the high license fee
did not induce her 10 compromise with
iIaman on that measure as the best re-
striction on murder that could be obtained.
If the Tribune and DR.. Crosby had been
there they would have been sorely tried by
her folly. But with a woman's persistency
she kept pleading for prohibition until
the King killed Hannah who first proposed
the policy, and saved the Jews by adopting
Esther's prohibitoTy law.
